Avon calling

The seedy underbelly of globalisation is again exposed. China has granted permission for Avon to recommence direct-selling of its products as part of its market access agreements for joining the WTO. Encyclopedias, life insurers and vacuum cleaner shares all jumped at the news. So did shares in companies selling Mace and flame throwers.

This is about the only good news that Avon has gotten lately (as they begin a $500 million restructuring)....

Keep up the good work, we read regularly.
